No Special Registration To Be Required; Voters To Decide On Tax Levy The board of county commis sioners Monday ordered an elec tion to be held on the date of the May Primary so that voters can approve or reject plans for the establishment of a new tax and commission for Madison County. The proposed new commission, if approved, will be known as the Madison County Industrial Devel opment Commission. (Not to be confused with the present Madi son County Planning Board.) The State Senate and Legisla ture at the last term approved the measure to be put before the vot ers. The first step was for the supporters of the measure to peti tion the commissioners for an e lection. After reading numerous petitions from citizens, the board voted Monday to order the elec tion to be held in conjunction with the May Primary. Voters will decide on whether or not a tax levy of 6c per $100 valuation will be assumed to be used to develop "an expanded and diversified economy in Madison County; for the attraction, en couragement and expansion of ag- ten tee ballots and election of judges by districts instead of statewide.
